• Beneil Dariush jumps on first chance to put Michael Chiesa loss behind him

  04-06-2016 22:00
  
  INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- When Beniel Dariush found himself on the wrong end of a sudden Michael Chiesa comeback just six weeks ago at UFC on FOX 19, he had one thought foremost in his mind: He needed to get back into the Octagon at the first available opportunity.
  So when he was offered a short-notice spot on UFC 199 against James Vick, the fact such a win won't vault him too high up the lightweight rankings didn't matter. The Kings MMA fighter jumped on the chance.

  04-06-2016 21:00
  
  A day before scoring her third straight UFC victory in September 2014, tapping Larissa Pacheco in the first round at UFC Fight Night 51, Jessica Andrade told MMA Fighting it would be "impossible" for her to cut down to 115 pounds despite her height and reach disadvantage as a bantamweight. Less than two years later, she’s ready to make her strawweight debut.
  After improving to 3-1 in the UFC with the win over Pacheco, Andrade lost two of three bouts, with a win over Sarah Moras sandwiched

• Urijah Faber doesn't believe bout with Dominick Cruz will be his last UFC title fight

  04-06-2016 19:00
  
  TORRANCE, Calif. -- Every time Urijah Faber gets a title shot, the question returns: Is this his last chance?
  When Faber meets Dominick Cruz's for the latter's UFC bantamweight title on Saturday night in Inglewood, Calif., it will mark the sixth time since losing the WEC featherweight belt since 2009 that he's gotten a shot at a world title, including UFC and WEC championships, and a UFC interim belt.

  TORRANCE, Calif. -- The war of words between Luke Rockhold and Fabricio Werdum doesn't seem to be nearing any kind of finish.
  Given the opportunity at UFC 199 open workouts to talk Werdum's title loss to Stipe Miocic last month, Rockhold gladly took it and slammed the former heavyweight champion as usual.
  "I thought he was a joke," Rockhold said. "I thought he was making [off] with something he stole. That's how I saw Werdum."

• UFC 199 notebook: Ricardo Lamas says it's going to be hard for Conor McGregor to make 145 again

  04-06-2016 17:00
  
  INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- The longer it goes, the more difficult it will be for Conor McGregor to come back to the featherweight division, according to Ricardo Lamas.
  "He's still a young guy and he's still growing into his body," Lamas said Thursday at UFC 199 media day. "I think the older he gets, the harder it's going to be for him to come back down to 145. The longer he waits, the harder it's going to be on him. It's a definite possibility he may never come back."

Though he’s proven incapable of rising to the octave of "pissed off," Faber packed a pretty tight grudge against the current ban
